Member Introductions
  • My wife and I got our first dog together (a Basenji of course) just after getting married. Less than 2 years later we got another. I didn't know how attached I was to them until we lost one last year. She was 14. Our friends talked about other breeds available, and I decided I'm not really a "dog person" as much as a "Basenji person". We now have 2 more! There are a lot of Basenji nuts on this site too! Welcome to the forum.

  • cmd, i use to live in Ohio i was born and raised there. i lived in columbus and then in Granville, where are u from?

  • Welcome! That Jack is very handsome, congrats on the baby!

  • We're just outside of Cincinnati and have two 1 yr olds. (Select) Bonnie Bell came from Dr Tracy near Dayton. We drove nearly to Illinois to get Smitty. Smitty is a Hacker Basenji and he is closely related to the girl we lost last year. Ramsey is 12 – don't want to forget the old guy. Oh, sorry this was YOUR introduction thread! Nice to meet another midwesterner.

  • lol. i just miss ohio…i heard the weather was terrible tho, i dont miss that...hehe

  • snow with ice, then ice and more ice!

  • Hi Kira

    This is Audrey and Conal from the dog park. We actually found this forum because of the videos that you just posted on Youtube. Sophie and Stick wanted to say hi to Jack and miss playing with him!

  • Hi New from CT,
    I tried to send you a message several weeks ago, I'm a neighbor, a few towns away. Stellabella is my Basenji girl. My part time sometime job during the summer is as an operator of a tour boat at Mystic Seaport. Stellabella assists me. I invite you to read the story of Stellabella on the introductions page.
    Perhaps I made an error in my screen name, it is Stellasperson.
    Hope to hear from you.

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    Welcome to the forum. Great story too. I especially like the description of your other dog "Betty the Sheprador Chowtriever ." That's Funny! My basenji/whippet mix also came from a local shelter. She wasn't there long enough, or perhaps they didn't know much about bs, but they only had her listed as whippet mix. Didn't take long for a dog savy friend of mine to mention the word "basenji." No doubt in my mind, she is basenji and something. I picked her out and my mother paid for her. Best Christmas present I ever got!
